That's funny, Nora!
Came across this picture of Lady Diana with pearls - take a look. Are those seven strands of Akoya? Lots of pearls and really lustrous too..

Hi Amrita,

unfortunately the picture can´t be seen, probably has to do with the owner´s/publisher´s right or copyright something like it...

[Amrita]

Here's the picture of Princess Diana that I was talking about....those sure are a lot of pearls:, aren't they?

Stunning! What REALLY catches my eye is that yummy huge drop! Jealous of that long neck--------------so perfect for a choker like that------------

Pattye
so many pearls, so little time

I was going to say she had the neck for it.

Anyhow yesterday during a festive Philharmonic Concert on the ocasion of the 60 anniversary of Israel, just a minute before Ms. Pelosi - the guest of honor - started her greetings, a little kitten appeared in the concert hall walking around calmly. However, when he realized that he became the center of attention, he got scared and began jumping from place to place. Only after a quite a long time, he managed to escape from the concert hall through one of the many doors that were opened for him.
(PS: I didn't see it myself and the person who told me about it didn't take note of Ms. Pelosi's pearls.)

This made the "soft" news broadcast even in Australia! That was one scared little kitty!!

WELL you do have A farthingale( Hoop Skirt) Bumm roll and Corset which if made correctly does help flatter the figure not do the Victorian itty Bitty waist thing these under garments do help one with all the layers of clothes

I will decline to comment on teh last two Period movies The other Boelyn gorl and Elizabethteh Gden age and how Period accurate/innaccurate they really are...
